Shangguan Lingyun stood where he was, and after telling Ye Xiaoxiao to be careful, he did not lead anyone towards other cages.
The people in the cage were stunned when they saw them kill the guard with a knife.
One of the men, who was a little braver, walked tremblingly to Shangguan Lingyun.
"My dear fellows, I wonder who you are?"
"These are all soldiers from the West City Guard House. If you kill them, you'll probably get into big trouble."
Shangguan Lingyun frowned at the dirty and smelly man in front of him, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and asked.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Why are you imprisoned by them?"
Although he knew that the guards were not good people, Shangguan Lingyun did not dare to guarantee that the prisoners were not bad people.
Seeing Shangguan Lingyun's cautious questioning, the man immediately revealed his identity.
"My dear fellow, we are villagers living at the foot of Xicheng Mountain. I am the head of Yanxi Village."
"Those imprisoned in this cage are all villagers from Yanxi Village."
"Those in the cages are all villagers from several other nearby villages."
"We are all unfortunate people, not bad people. However, now is not the time to talk about this."
"There are quite a few officials from the City Guard in this mine. They come here to have fun from time to time."
"The man you just killed was their leader. If they find you, they will definitely attack you."
"Good men, although you look very powerful, two fists cannot beat four hands. You'd better leave quickly."
After just a few simple conversations, Shangguan Lingyun had roughly understood the situation here.
"Old man, don't worry. We have already dealt with all the guards here. You are safe now."
"But how did you get into this mine halfway up the mountain? Is there some hidden exit?"
When the village chief of Yanxi Village heard that the guards had been dealt with, his eyes widened in disbelief and he even stuttered when he spoke.
"You, what did you say? So, all those guards were taken care of by just a few of you?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and then asked Wang Xiao to rescue all the villagers.
As soon as the cage was opened, many men rushed towards the cage where Ye Xiaoxiao was.
Shangguan Lingyun frowned and immediately asked Wang Xiao to stop them. The village chief of Yanxi Village immediately explained.
"Don't misunderstand, my dear. They are all relatives of those women."
"Those people from the City Guard House are simply beasts. They have arrested all the villagers."
"The men come to mine, the women are used for their entertainment, and they don't even spare the children."
Speaking of children, tears suddenly flowed down the village chief's face, and Shangguan Lingyun frowned.
"But there are no children here. Where did they send them?"
The village chief wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied with a sob.
"Oh, don't even mention it. All the good-looking children were sent to various families as playthings."
"Those people are simply beasts. They abuse the children so young."
"The lucky ones can still survive, but the unlucky ones will be tortured to death by them."
"Some girls who were a little bit pretty were sold to brothels for entertainment."
"These damn bastards! Oh my God, is the emperor blind? Why would he let them govern our West City?"
Wang Xiao originally sympathized with these villagers, but the village chief actually dared to scold his own master.
Shangguan Lingyun could endure it, but Wang Xiao couldn't, and immediately scolded him.
"How dare you! The current emperor is not someone you can insult at will."
It would have been better if Wang Xiao didn't say anything. Once he scolded, the village chief of Yanxi Village scolded even more vigorously.
"Why can't we curse? Isn't the emperor the Son of Heaven? Isn't he the ruler of all people? Then why does he allow these corrupt officials to oppress us like this?"
"That's right. If it weren't for the dog emperor's indulgence, how could these officials dare to act so boldly?"
Several other people who had come out of the cages also came over. When they heard the insults from the Yanxi Village chief, some of them immediately echoed his words.
Shangguan Lingyun interrupted Wang Xiao who was about to continue scolding him and spoke coldly to everyone.
"I am the dog emperor you are talking about. I really have no knowledge of this matter."
"But don't worry, now that I know about this, I will definitely seek justice for you."
When everyone heard Shangguan Lingyun actually called himself the emperor, they were immediately frightened. After the panic, everyone immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me."
Shangguan Lingyun personally helped the village chief of Yanxi Village up.
"As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. Everyone, please stand up."
As he spoke, Ye Xiaoxiao had already dealt with all those women.
Although they were dressed neatly, their bodies were covered with scars from the long period of torture.
Some women, as soon as they were free, wanted to throw themselves against the iron bars of the cage.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaoxiao was quick to stop them.
"Everyone, you are the victims. It's not you who should die, but the people who harmed you."
"If you all die now, their crimes will go unpunished. Are you willing to accept that?"
"I am the current queen. I know that your reputation, which you care about most, has been lost, but your lives are still there."
"You still have children and family. If you die, they will be so sad."
"So, you can't die. Not only can you not die, you must live well."
